Conjunto

A conjunto is a traditional Mexican musical ensemble, typically featuring instruments like the bajo sexto (a type of guitar), electric bass, drums, and often a violin, accordion, or guitar. It originated in northern Mexico and Texas, blending Mexican folk and country music styles, especially Tejano and Norteño. Conjunto bands are known for lively, danceable tunes, with the bajo sexto providing a rhythmic bassline and harmony, while other instruments add melody and accompaniment. The ensemble creates upbeat, culturally rich music that is both energetic and heartfelt, playing a vital role in celebrating Mexican heritage and community events.
